Soar like a bird above Europe's highest sand dune! The Dune of Pilat is nestled between the Arcachon Bay (Atlantic coast) and the Landes de Gascogne pine forest

Fly like a bird over or near the highest sand dune in Europe, depending on the
of the highest sand dune in Europe! The Dune du Pilat is nestled between the Arcachon basin and the Landes de Gascogne forest near Bordeaux.

Let yourself be tempted by a first flight in a tandem paraglider with a breathtaking view of the
of the famous Dune du Pilat located on the Côte d'Argent, in the Pyla district not far from Arcachon and Bordeaux.

During your flight, you will be able to discover from the sky the largest sand dune in Europe or the surrounding dunes (depending on the weather conditions of the day), as well as the entrance to the Arcachon basin. You will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Banc d'Arguin, the Cap Ferret peninsula recognisable by its lighthouse and perhaps you will see the Bird Island in the distance if you take a little height.

You will be welcomed by your instructor on the flight site who will help you to get equipped. Then, after a few explanations about the activity and the safety instructions, you will take off.

The paragliding flight will take place in 3 stages (adaptable according to the passenger's wishes) and will last about 30 minutes:
- the "walk" moment: you will fly along the dunes and admire the passes, the pilat dune and the
dune and the banc d'Arguin,
- the "educational" moment: you will take the controls and fly the paraglider yourself under the watchful eye of your instructor (depending on the aerological conditions),
- the "sensational" moment: your instructor will perform a series of piloted movements (wings over, 360, low angle...) for more pleasure.

Finally, the landing will take place near the people who accompanied you.

After removing the equipment (or even in flight), you can ask your instructor all the questions you want to know about paragliding and free flight in general.
